When the Hurricane first came out, it shook the motorcycle world. The only problem with the 88's and 89's (both the 600 and 1000) was the skinny bias-ply tires. The 1990's and on had wider wheels, wider tires, and radials.

The new RR's and all the modern 600's are strictly race bikes. The F2 and F3 CBR's were great all-around streetbikes. Just look for a clean one. I have a fast and comfortable 1990 CBR 1000. I think it's better (not faster) than any of the new liter bikes.

I used to have an '89 CBR600. It had been beaten like a rented mule when I got it but still held up great. It had 20K+ miles on it and the CCT rattled like crazy.

I totalled it once, got the forks straightened out and replaced everything that was bent/broken, put on some radial tires, and took it out to Portland International Raceway for a season. Every single gear on the track I tagged the rev limiter and it begged for more. I ended up selling it for $1100 and buying an F3.

honda's are rock solid....in everything they make. I like the honda sportbikes, but they don't fit me well.
